Asked by
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many projects in Southport in (a) 2007, (b) 2008, and (c) 2009 received Big Lottery funding; of those, how many were (a) health projects, (b) education projects, (c) environmental projects, and (d) charitable projects. [HL1993]
The Big Lottery Fund has advised that it has funded a total of 39 projects in the Southport constituency between the 2007 and 2009 calendar years. The total value of these awards is £968,993.
It is not always possible to categorise projects into the themes you have requested, as many large projects tend to be cross-cutting. For example the Growing Business project was awarded funding in 2007 to provide work experience centred on horticulture and environmental work for people with learning disabilities.
The Big Lottery Fund has committed to give at least 80 per cent of awards to organisations in the voluntary and community sector. Projects classified as charitable deliver a wide range of projects that can offer health, education or environmental benefits.
The table provides a list of the 39 projects based on the location of the organisation delivering the project. There may be additional projects delivered inside the constituency but where the organisation is located outside.
